What is Digital Radio?
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is the next generation of radio.
DAB was developed in Europe by a consortium of broadcasters and manufacturers.
DAB uses digital compression techniques to transform the source material, i.e. music and speech,
into digital computer code before it is transmitted. The computer code consists of electronic ‘ones
and zeros’ called binary digits or bits. The binary code is then multiplexed or grouped together to
create a superior signal, when compared with the older analogue system with the following key
benefits:
• Near CD quality sound.
Because DAB is binary coded, the receiving equipment is only expecting to receive a
series of ones and zeros, so any other interference is ignored, resulting in very high
quality audio.
• Interference free reception.
Analogue systems suffer from an effect called ‘multipath distortion’. This is caused
because radio waves do not behave in an orderly fashion, but bounce and reflect off
buildings and mountains etc. DAB sees this as an advantage and uses the direct and
reflected signals to actually reinforce the end result.
• No need to re-tune.
A single DAB frequency can be used to cover the whole of the UK, so solving many of the
problems experienced with the earlier analogue system.
